Jennifer Ehle (“Zero Dark Thirty”), Anson Mount (AMC’s “Hell on Wheels”), Abigail Spencer (“Oz the Great and Powerful”) and Belgian-born actor Marcus Thomas have joined John Travolta in “The Forger,” a heist film being produced and co-financed by Code Entertainment and The Solution Entertainment Group.

Written by Richard D’Ovidio, “The Forger” follows former child art prodigy and petty thief Ray Cutter (Travolta), who arranges to buy his way out of prison so he can spend time with his ailing son (Sheridan). Ray and his father (Plummer) must come together to carry out one last big job for the syndicate that financed his early release.

Ehle will co-star as Travolta’s emotionally fragile ex-wife, while Mount will play a member of the syndicate who creates trouble for him. Spencer will play a DEA agent and Thomas will play Ray’s long-time friend and wingman.

Production started Monday in Boston. The Solution is handling international sales, while WME Global and ICM Partners are handling domestic sales.
